Li Ma is currently a research fellow at the Henry Institute of Christianity and Public Life at Calvin College, USA. She is the author of three books, including Surviving the State, Remaking the Church (with Jin Li) and The Chinese Exodus, and Towards Aslan’s Kingdom: A Guide to The Chronicles of Narnia (with Jin Li). She holds a PhD in sociology from Cornell University.
This book offers a unique historical documentation of the development of the ambitious religious entrepreneurism by leaders of the Early Rain church (and later Western China Presbytery leadership), in an effort to gain social influence in China through local institution-building and global public image management. It unravels the social processes of how this Christian community with a public image of defending religious freedom in China was undermined by an internal loss of moral authority.
Based on publicly available texts from Chinese social media that aren’t readily available in the West as well as in-depth interviews, it is framed by existing scholarship in social theories of the public sphere, charismatic domination in social transition, and the role of power in organizational behaviour. These churches’ stories show how Christianity, which has long been politically marginalized in communist China, has not only adapted and challenged the socio-political status quo, but how it was also ironically shaped by the political culture.
This is an insightful and critical ethnographic study of one of modern China’s most famous house churches. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars of Religion in China as well as those working in Religious Studies, Asian studies, Chinese studies, and Mission Studies more generally.

跟風
評分一口一個“女拳”的直男癌真惡心
評分大概是收瞭盧布。
評分毫無必要地“起底”許多人的背景和事工機構,給人感覺為瞭所謂學術成就絲毫不顧當事人當前的處境,甚至因為曝光而加重其服侍壓力
評分主日學習教會史,看著牧師講著與這為敵,與那為敵,與世界為敵的....不齣於血氣而神聖的勇敢需要多麼強大的生命
